Got a new 17" Defiance laptop. It has an inbuilt Intel graphics card, and I chose an RTX 3080 for it. I changed the Windows display settings to scale to 125%, as I find the default 100% a bit small. In the NVIDIA Control Panel I set the RTX card as the default for programs, but I'm guessing the Intel card is used for a lot of things anyway.
I've noticed on occasion that thin, horizontal black lines (like you'd see on the edge of a Windows dialog box, or the edge of an image file) flicker, seemingly producing a "shadow". I will try to take a video and attach it later.
(The only reliable way I have to see this is on this web page. [I was troubleshooting another issue.] On a few of the images displayed on the page, I get this shadow flickering on the bottom edge of the image, but not all along the straight line... Just a section in the centre.)
Interestingly, when I change the scale back down to 100%, the issue seems to instantly stop. I don't want to use this as a solution though, as I do find 100% scale too small. I never had this issue on my previous PCS laptop, but that only had the NVIDIA GTX 980M, with no Intel graphics card.
When I go looking through Windows display settings and reach the option to update the drivers for the Intel card, it says they're up to date.
What can I do?
UPDATE: Here's a link I've created on a file transfer site containing two videos I took of my screen.
